Luca 3
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Propovăduirea lui Ioan Botezătorul
3 În anul al cincisprezecelea al domniei lui Tiberiu Cezar – pe când Pilat din Pont era dregător în Iudeea; Irod, cârmuitor al Galileii; Filip, fratele lui, cârmuitor al Ituriei şi al Trahonitei; Lisania, cârmuitor al Abilenei; 2 şi în(A) zilele marilor preoţi Ana şi Caiafa –, Cuvântul lui Dumnezeu a vorbit lui Ioan, fiul lui Zaharia, în pustie. 3 Şi(B) Ioan a venit prin tot ţinutul din împrejurimile Iordanului şi propovăduia botezul pocăinţei, pentru(C) iertarea păcatelor, 4 după cum este scris în cartea cuvintelor prorocului Isaia: „Iată glasul(D) celui ce strigă în pustie: ‘Pregătiţi calea Domnului, neteziţi-I cărările. 5 Orice vale va fi astupată, orice munte şi orice deal vor fi prefăcute în loc neted; căile strâmbe vor fi îndreptate şi drumurile zgrunţuroase vor fi netezite. 6 Şi orice(E) făptură va vedea mântuirea lui Dumnezeu’.” 7 Ioan zicea dar noroadelor care veneau să fie botezate de el: „Pui(F) de năpârci, cine v-a învăţat să fugiţi de mânia viitoare? 8 Faceţi dar roade vrednice de pocăinţa voastră şi nu vă apucaţi să ziceţi în voi înşivă: ‘Avem pe Avraam ca tată!’ Căci vă spun că Dumnezeu din pietrele acestea poate să ridice fii lui Avraam. 9 Securea a şi fost înfiptă la rădăcina pomilor: deci(G) orice pom care nu face roadă bună este tăiat şi aruncat în foc.” 10 Noroadele îl întrebau şi ziceau: „Atunci(H) ce trebuie să facem?” 11 Drept răspuns, el le zicea: „Cine(I) are două haine să împartă cu cine n-are niciuna; şi cine are de mâncare să facă la fel”. 12 Au(J) venit şi nişte vameşi să fie botezaţi şi i-au zis: „Învăţătorule, noi ce trebuie să facem?” 13 El le-a răspuns: „Să nu(K) cereţi nimic mai mult peste ce v-a fost poruncit să luaţi”. 14 Nişte ostaşi îl întrebau şi ei şi ziceau: „Dar noi ce trebuie să facem?” El le-a răspuns: „Să nu stoarceţi nimic de la nimeni prin ameninţări, nici(L) să nu învinuiţi pe nimeni pe nedrept, ci să vă mulţumiţi cu lefurile voastre”. 15 Fiindcă norodul era în aşteptare şi toţi se gândeau în inimile lor cu privire la Ioan dacă nu cumva este el Hristosul, 16 Ioan, drept răspuns, a zis tuturor: „Cât despre mine, eu(M) vă botez cu apă; dar vine Acela care este mai puternic decât mine şi Căruia eu nu sunt vrednic să-I dezleg cureaua încălţămintelor. El vă va boteza cu Duhul Sfânt şi cu foc. 17 Acela are lopata în mână; Îşi va curăţi aria cu desăvârşire şi(N) Îşi va strânge grâul în grânar, iar pleava o va arde într-un foc care nu se stinge.”
Închiderea lui Ioan
18 Astfel propovăduia Ioan norodului Evanghelia şi-i dădea încă multe alte îndemnuri. 19 Dar(O) cârmuitorul Irod, care era mustrat de Ioan pentru Irodiada, nevasta fratelui său Filip, şi pentru toate relele pe care le făcuse, 20 a mai adăugat la toate celelalte rele şi pe acela că a închis pe Ioan în temniţă.
Botezul lui Isus
21 După ce a fost botezat tot norodul, a fost botezat şi Isus(P); şi pe când Se ruga, s-a deschis cerul, 22 şi Duhul Sfânt S-a pogorât peste El în chip trupesc, ca un porumbel. Şi din cer s-a auzit un glas, care zicea: „Tu eşti Fiul Meu preaiubit, în Tine Îmi găsesc toată plăcerea Mea!”
Cartea neamului lui Isus Hristos
23 Isus avea aproape(Q) treizeci de ani când a început să înveţe pe norod; şi era, cum se credea, fiul lui Iosif, fiul lui Eli, 24 fiul lui Matat, fiul lui Levi, fiul lui Melhi, fiul lui Ianai, fiul lui Iosif, 25 fiul lui Matatia, fiul lui Amos, fiul lui Naum, fiul lui Esli, fiul lui Nagai, 26 fiul lui Maat, fiul lui Matatia, fiul lui Semei, fiul lui Ioseh, fiul lui Ioda, 27 fiul lui Ioanan, fiul lui Resa, fiul lui Zorobabel, fiul lui Salatiel, fiul lui Neri, 28 fiul lui Melhi, fiul lui Adi, fiul lui Cosam, fiul lui Elmadam, fiul lui Er, 29 fiul lui Isus, fiul lui Eliezer, fiul lui Iorim, fiul lui Matat, fiul lui Levi, 30 fiul lui Simeon, fiul lui Iuda, fiul lui Iosif, fiul lui Ionam, fiul lui Eliachim, 31 fiul lui Melea, fiul lui Mena, fiul lui Matata, fiul lui Natan(R), fiul lui(S) David, 32 fiul(T) lui Iese, fiul lui Iobed, fiul lui Boaz, fiul lui Salmon, fiul lui Naason, 33 fiul lui Aminadab, fiul lui Admin, fiul lui Arni, fiul lui Esrom, fiul lui Fares, fiul lui Iuda, 34 fiul lui Iacov, fiul lui Isaac, fiul lui Avraam, fiul(U) lui Terah, fiul lui Nahor, 35 fiul lui Seruh, fiul lui Ragau, fiul lui Falec, fiul lui Eber, fiul lui Sala, 36 fiul(V) lui Cainam, fiul lui Arfaxad, fiul(W) lui Sem, fiul lui Noe, fiul lui Lameh, 37 fiul lui Metusala, fiul lui Enoh, fiul lui Iared, fiul lui Maleleel, fiul lui Cainan, 38 fiul lui Enos, fiul lui Set, fiul lui Adam, fiul(X) lui Dumnezeu.
Luke 3
King James Version
3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
10 And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
11 He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
17 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,
28 Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
29 Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
30 Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
31 Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
32 Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
33 Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,
34 Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
35 Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
36 Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Luke 3
English Standard Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 In the fifteenth year of the reign of (A)Tiberius Caesar, (B)Pontius Pilate (C)being governor of Judea, and (D)Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, 2 during (E)the high priesthood of Annas and (F)Caiaphas, (G)the word of God came to (H)John the son of Zechariah in (I)the wilderness. 3 And he went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming (J)a baptism of repentance (K)for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in (L)the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet,
(M)“The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(N)‘Prepare the way of the Lord,[a]
make his paths straight.
5 (O)Every valley shall be filled,
(P)and every mountain and hill shall be made low,
(Q)and the crooked shall become straight,
and the rough places shall become level ways,
6 (R)and all flesh shall see (S)the salvation of God.’”
7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, (T)“You brood of (U)vipers! Who warned you to flee from (V)the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruits (W)in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, (X)‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from (Y)these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. (Z)Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
10 And the crowds asked him, (AA)“What then shall we do?” 11 And he answered them, (AB)“Whoever has two tunics[b] is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.” 12 (AC)Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, (AD)what shall we do?” 13 And he said to them, (AE)“Collect no more than you are authorized to do.” 14 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, (AF)what shall we do?” And he said to them, (AG)“Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your (AH)wages.”
15 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, (AI)whether he might be (AJ)the Christ, 16 (AK)John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but (AL)he who is mightier than I is coming, (AM)the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you (AN)with the Holy Spirit and (AO)fire. 17 His (AP)winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to (AQ)gather the wheat into his barn, (AR)but the chaff he will burn with (AS)unquenchable fire.”
18 So (AT)with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people. 19 But (AU)Herod the tetrarch, who had been reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evil things that Herod had done, 20 added this to them all, that (AV)he locked up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when (AW)Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, (AX)the heavens were opened, 22 and (AY)the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and (AZ)a voice came from heaven, (BA)“You are my beloved Son;[c] with you I am well pleased.”[d]
